Answer / guest

The JOBLIB statement is placed after the JOB statement and
is effective for all job steps. It cannot be placed in
abcataloged procedure. The STEPLIB statement is placed after
the EXEC statement and is effective for that job step only.
Unlike the JOBLIB statement, the STEPLIB can be placed in a
